Observing the blast off to space
Palestinian officials: negotiations with israel become pointless after Israel prime minister rejcted Obama's call. A tanker carrying fuel for NATO forces exploded and killed 15. No pay rise bid for domestic workers, says Filipino official. Life is strange. A random question “what have you been up to?” lead to our arrival in Orlando, Florida, where our final destination was the Kennedy Space Center and NASA’s headquarters.My friend mentioned she was going to observe the launch of the space shuttle Endeavour. This appealed to our sense of adventure and got us thinking that it would be a travel highlight.
It seems that NASA is better organized than I am. They can launch a multi-million-dollar spacecraft in nine minutes – the time I normally take to prepare breakfast!
The space shuttle is the first orbital spacecraft designed for reusability. Carrying different payloads to low Earth orbit, it provides crew rotation and servicing missions for the International Space Station (ISS). Set up on Launch Pad 39A for its 24th flight, Endeavor’s mission is the last night launch. The planned launch day was on Feb. 7 marking the 130th space shuttle flight and the 32nd mission to the ISS. This 13-day mission to deliver and install a new module to the ISS along with a small observation port called the Cupola, would involve three spacewalks by the Endeavour astronauts.
The Kennedy Space Center is located on the Atlantic coast at Cape Canaveral, east of Orlando and its famed theme parks. Their website has a digital clock that counts down to the next launch. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is the US responsible for the nation’s civilian space program.
At the main viewing screen at Kennedy Visitor complex, a former astronaut suggested that members of the audience practice a trial count down. It was a noisy next few seconds as we counted down to great cheers and loud clapping.
From mission control, all the various check stations reported in. The tension was audible and at “T minus nine minutes”, the shuttle crew was ordered to take control and perform their final checks and initiate the rockets.
For those of us left on earth, all the above happened in a heartbeat.

We walked across the street to a pizza joint for a pie to go and went back to our mobile motel room, our Saturn Vue. It just struck me that the name of the vehicle was somewhat appropriate — Saturn being a planet, of course, and VUE, an acronym for
